Falstaff’s comprehensive evaluation highlighted the “remarkable qualities” of Ta’ Betta’s wines, with the vintages placed on the market this year receiving “excellent ratings”, the company said.
The 2022 Isabella Guasconi Rosé Superior Malta DOK received 91 points. Its evaluation read: “Characterised by its intense, shimmering cherry pink hue that captivates the eye, while the nose unravels a captivating journey from smoky paprika to fresh cranberries, raspberries, and subtle incense. Its juicy palate, enriched with red pepper nuances, harmoniously balances animated, salty phenolics, making it an ideal companion for Mediterranean dishes.”
The 2020 Jean Parisot Chardonnay Superior Malta DOK achieved a rating of 93 points. Its evaluation read: “Distinguished by its bright, shimmering straw yellow tone, this Chardonnay captivates with a bouquet featuring enticing aromas of banana, fresh pineapple, sea salt, flint, white peach, and mango. Its elegance on the palate, coupled with clear fruitiness and a hint of savory elements, culminates in a minimally warming, enduring finish.”
Consistently strong reviews internationally
These results add to Ta’ Betta’s track record of success, with previous vintages such as Philippe Villiers 2018 and Antonio Manoel 2018 achieving ratings of 95 and 94 points, respectively.
